My favorite part about being a Des Moines Senior Photographer? Meeting SO many talented, gracious, and enthusiastic young women. It never ceases to amaze me the things my seniors have accomplished and their goals for the future. Take Abby Kate. She is a singer (although I didn’t get to *actually* hear her voice during our session) who is spending part of her summer vacation singing with an opera in ITALY. I mean, when I was in high school I spent my summer checking out groceries at the local HyVee so Abby Kate is definitely doing something right.

We captured this set of portraits out at my home studio and acreage and I adore how they turned out. From the golden sun and natural setting- to Abby Kate’s floral dress and palpable joy. It was truly one for the books. A painter paints pictures on canvas. But musicians paint their pictures on silence.” – Leopold Stokowski
